OK. So I have my GTX 770 Gigabyte OC since it released which is something over 2 years and it doesn't OC at all.

I can't increase memory even by 1MHz too be stable and core is unstable in some games just by increasing power limit to 110% which is maximum.

I was looking for how much these cards go used in my country and it is at around 150€-180€.

New R9 380 MSI Twin Freezer costs 195€ with tax and I can get it without tax for around 160€ so I was thinking about selling my 770 and get this one with high chance to get at least average OC out of it which may get me slightly better performance. I think the 380 performs better in more tesselation heavy games but I am not sure. Anyway... I think this 380 is even more silent card than my 770 which would be great bonus.

What do you guys think? Is this side grade worth the trouble? I will first have to find buyer and then I will be without dGPU for few days until I get the new one.
